Hey Greg,
I was also at the track during some of your first few runs and see from the T slips your only getting better. I know you have done a lot of upgrades on the rear and have a few questions. Are you running safety hoops or any 1/2 shaft retention system? Have you removed the rear sway bar and soften up the compression setting of the r shock function. If so how much change did you find?
Thanks Jeff C

I think the only diffrence is I figured out to run a little over 20 psi in the tires and the track has been a good prep lately. In the past I was running to low of pressure and the track was slippery making it impossible to have a decent passs.

I have the stock Superformance IRS, but with stronger half shafts. The drive shaft has the stock Superformance hoop and a disc parking break. For the half shafts I don't think they'll ever break just farting out of the hole off idle as long as the drive line is pre loaded going forward. For me I just know the potential to knock .2 or .3 off the 60ft time is there. I just don't have the desire to beat on the car to do it I guess. A 1.45 60ft would be a low 10 instead of a 1.7 60ft being a high 10.
